Could Your Kitchen Benefit From A Bump Out
Addition?
2

• If you love your home but the kitchen is letting
  it down due to its size, you might want to
  consider adding a bump out to make it more
  spacious, functional and attractive.
• Some homeowners may have the space and funds to
  have their small kitchen fully remodeled and
  extended, but for those for whom that isnt the
  case, a bump out addition can be the ideal
  solution. Expanding the size of a room but
  without the cost and complexity of a full home
  addition, bump outs are a great way of achieving
  more space, either for you, or for potential
  buyers should you be selling your home.

• Here are some situations in which a kitchen bump
  out might prove advantageous
• To make the most of a galley kitchen
• If your kitchen has a galley layout a long
  corridor featuring countertops and cabinets on
  either side a bump out can help it to feel less
  cramped and more conducive to cooking and dining
  in. With a bump out expanding the galley on one
  side, an awkward layout in a small space can be
  altered in such a way that functionality is
  improved tenfold.

• When lot space is limited
• If you dont have any, or little exterior space
  with which to expand your small kitchen, you may
  not have the possibility of adding outward to
  increase space, or may not wish to eat into what
  little space you do have. In this instance, you
  could boost the floor space in your kitchen a
  little with a bump out that doesnt require the
  yard to be altered in any way.

• If your budget is restricted
• While full kitchen remodels typically provide a
  great return on investment, if your budget is
  limited, this simply wont be an option, no
  matter how cramped the space might be. If you
  want to add a little extra space to your kitchen
  but dont have the funds for a full remodel, a
  bump out could be the perfect solution.
• Regular additions usually require new foundation
  work and sometimes new roofing, too, while a bump
  out uses existing joists in the floor to give you
  extra square footage without as much of the
  hassle and cost.

• When youre able to expand internally
• In some instances, a smaller kitchen may be
  extended internally to make it bigger, such as if
  there is an unused, or little used, room adjacent
  to it. But if this doesnt give the desired
  result alone, a bump out might be a worthwhile
  consideration, as they typically work well in
  conjunction with internal alterations.

• If you would like to make other rooms bigger
• Bump outs can be extremely effective for adding
  small amounts of space to other rooms in the
  home, too, and are much cheaper and more
  convenient than adding a new room. So if you have
  other rooms that follow the same exterior wall as
  your kitchen, you might be able to make them all
  larger by planning a bump out that runs the
  entire length of one wall of the home.
  alternatively, you may want to add some extra
  space to the area above the kitchen bump out.

• Bump out additions are a fantastically
  cost-effective way to create a little more usable
  space in a kitchen, and as mentioned above, in
  other rooms of the home, too. Talk to a local
  construction company experienced with home
  additions, to discuss convenient and
  budget-friendly ways of making your home that bit
  more comfortable and functional with a bump out.
